Umm the difference is they also fired their head coach!

And they're still looking for a head coach ?

First time head coach assembling his first staff. At a a school that got left behind to die on the vine by conference mates.

No they hired their HC! WR coach and asst from Bama tp his first HC job and he hired his DC in 2 weeks.

Greg ??? Still waiting

Your example further proves my point!

thank you

If your point is that you don't like GS, we get it.
You're like a juke box that keeps playing the same song over and over and over again.
And it's not one that most people wanna hear.

For those who watched, it did not end well for Llewelyn.

I don’t like Greg but that has little to do with his inability to hire a competent defensive staff 2 years in a row. That is just factual.

I appreciate the effort and your kind faith in the HC! Go RU

That song is one of those that bring back such great memories from good times for me in the Sixties and Seventies.
One of those "get up on your feet" tunes for sure.

The live version of "Wade in the Water" was another one. Takes me right back to those times.

I don’t think USC has a DC yet. Kwiatkowski still out there and have even seen talk of Gary Patterson too.

DCs are clearly overrated in Greg's book. He just can't have anyone mess up our bottom dwelling D. Can't have anyone make sure the D looks organized, knows where to be, and stop explosive plays. The D was decent, and at times very good in 2023, under an actual DC with actual players. Since Joe left, the D fell apart, yet GS as the D guru presides over this.

 

[yesrutgers01]

Anyone defending Greg on the DC search up to this point (I get it- holding hope it is someone in the CFP or in the NFL on a team in the playoffs) are either joining the crowd that is just pissed off or they think it must be a coach from one of the few NFL teams still playing.

This search is now just stupid.

Well if he wants to announce in person in NB, maybe it’s better to wait a week or two with the big storm coming.

Sorry but I refuse to believe your theory that the thought of working for him has built such a negative reputation that he could not identify a single standing low major DC or high major position coach who would agree to accept a tremendous pay raise to come work for him. I know you hate Schiano and I don’t know what’s going on here, but you realize how unlikely this would be, right? I mean, maybe you or Shelby or whoever dislike Greg enough where if it was you, then you’d turn down a huge chuck of money and career opportunity for your family to avoid working for him but the chance that every single active low major DC and high major position coach out there took this view? It rounds to zero, man. Like I said - don’t know what it is but it’s not that. Someone would for sure take the bag. This isn’t making sense.

The rumors about coaches not wanting to work for him are true. Not like a straight up blacklist or anything, but it's known as a tough job with not a ton of payoff (other than money), more specifically on the defensive side. Idk if Joe H had his own level of self-respect or competence that kept Greg at bay, could just deal with it, or bolted at the first HC job just to get out, but there is truth to it being tough to get some interested, esp people with other options.

The rest, regarding not being able to ID a single candidate wanting a pay day and promotion you're obviously right about, and it's perplexing.
